Horror icon Bruce Campbell recently explained why he believes Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was a “stupid” concept from the start.
Before Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was released in theaters, fans were excited by the prospect of seeing the Dark Knight and Man of Steel together in a live-action feature for the first time. However, Batman v Superman debuted to mixed reactions, at best, and fans continue to debate over what worked and what didn’t to this day.
While many were underwhelmed by Batman v Superman, Bruce Campbell outlined why he believes the concept for the DC Comics movie was stupid to begin with during a conversation with io9. Like many have pointed out countless times before, Bruce Campbell explained that the idea of the mortal Batman being a challenge to the immensely powerful Superman is ridiculous:
[…] these guys who have this special superhero power, to me that’s Snoresville. If you don’t have kryptonite, then—Batman v Superman. Stupid, stupid, stupid concept. Never should’ve been made. Superman who can like, make the world go backwards with centrifugal force.
Batman can’t do that. Superman can frickin’ fly. He’s the man of steel. All he has—one hand on Batman’s esophagus, the story is over. So they spent a lot of money kidding themselves.

Here is the official synopsis for Batman v Superman:
Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
